Hypt, founded in 2021 and based in Bern, provides a gamified chatbot solution that drives word-of-mouth in the app era. The software prompts users for feedback and the chatbot responds based on the rating, encouraging satisfied users to send editable "Personal Media Ads" recommending products, services, or advisors. Those ads include links that open webshops or landing pages and generate direct, measurable revenue. The company has secured enterprise customers including Rivella, Helvetia, Post, CSS and the Berner Kantonalbank, and reports roughly 50,000 users with a 40% recommendation rate. Hypt currently employs 13 people. The team plans to expand across the DACH region and enter the U.S. market within three years.
